Poker argot:
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- CUT - To break the deck into 2 stacks of at least 5 cards each. Usually performed by the player to the dealer's right to insure that the the deck is not stacked.
- CASE - The fourth card of a particular rank, as in "he folded the case 9" when describing where all the 9s were in a hand. Comes from the game of Faro where an employee of the house, called the "case keeper". kept track of the number of each rank of card remaining.
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
